Summary
Board approves the recommended composition of the Board Technical Relations Working Group (BTRWG).
Text
Whereas, on 18 March 2011 the Board established the Board Technical Relations Working Group "to consider measures to enhance the coordination and cooperation between ICANN and other members of the Internet technical community with the intent of, among other things, dissolving the TLG by the 2011 Annual Meeting; and asks the Working Group to engage the ICANN community in a fully consultative process on the coordination and cooperation between ICANN and other members of the Internet technical community."
Whereas, the Board directed the Board Governance Committee to recommend five members for the Board Technical Relations Working Group, for consideration by the Board at this meeting.
Whereas, at its 12 April 2011 meeting, the BGC reviewed the potential composition of the Board Technical Relations Working Group and formed a recommendation to the Board, identifying the following proposed members of the group:
- (i) Gonzalo Navarro, Chair;
- (ii) Thomas Narten;
- (iii) Thomas Roessler;
- (iv) Reinhard Scholl; and
- (v) Jonne Soininen.
RESOLVED (2011.04.21.05), the Board approves the recommended membership of the Board Technical Relations Working Group and requests the members to complete the tasks as set forth in the Board's 18 March 2011 resolution, as reflected in the Working Group's charter.
Implementation Actions
- Complete the tasks set forth in Board's 18 March 2011 resolution, as reflected in the Working Group's charter.
- Responsible entity: Board Technical Relations Working Group members
- Due date: None provided
- Completion date: 22 August 2011
Rationale
The Board Governance Committee's recommendation is in fulfillment of the Board's 18 March 2011 resolution. The TLG review work to date has been the subject of community comment, and the Working Group is expected to perform its work in a consultative process with the ICANN community. A small fiscal impact is anticipated due to the composition of the Working Group, including staffing resources and potential costs incurred to facilitate the work of the Working Group. There will be no impact on the security, stability and resiliency of the domain name system as a result of this action.
